Re: This Arizona immigration law really PISSES ME OFF

so, if you are a contractor you are an illegal immigrant?

again, that's just generalizing, and racial profiling, making it a living hell if you are a hispanic.

yeah i think there needs to be something done in regard with immigration, but this is not the way to go. Racial profiling will only lead to more racism and hatred towards the Hispanic community.

How do you square away the requirement of possessing a valid identification card with...er....say....the Netherlands, for example, where “all Dutch citizens from the age of 14 are required to be able to show a valid identity document when the police or other supervisors ask for identification.”? Most countries have this requirement in varying sorts. Of course, those governments kinda give a damn about border security. Also, tell me more about this 'hispanic race'.

I'm personally amused at the people crying out that this will 'profile' hispanics. This does not make it a living hell if you're a hispanic, but it will if you are here illegal. Like I said above, do Arizonan's have a problem with pasty-white canadians crossing illegally into their domain? IMO, people complaining about this law essentially are of the belief that the US should allow unrestricted immigration of anyone who wants to move here; not enforcing the laws is a means of achieving the policy they want.

As a practical matter, the state of Arizona really does not have the police numbers to go around and question every mexican in that state. They have other policing functions, too, you know. And unfortunately this is going to make their job more difficult in the long run. In no way is this going to be a vast and pervasive function of the police in AZ.

All that aside, the USSC will shut this one down on a 5-4 vote, and the 'wise latina' will be the deciding vote. How retardedly poetic, it will be said.

Tom Freakin' Tancredo is actually a bit critical of this bill:

Pretty much says it all, IMO.

Wow that is soooooooo racist..... so now that you started it herre we go.

Not sure how you'd see that cartoon and conclude that it's racist. Were you basically looking for an excuse to post these?

***insert runningman's Mexican Jokes here***

You know, I thought about it, and I can't in good conscience let this go without further comment. I do recognize that on the spectrum of bigotry, this isn't near as bad as some alternatives. With that said, however, I'm not going to sit by in tacit approval while someone makes racially-themed jokes. [ms] is a diverse, global community, and shit like this is an antithesis of the reason I come here. [ms] cannot become a place where we're OK with this sort of bullshit -- take it somewhere else.

Re: This Arizona immigration law really PISSES ME OFF

Where did my post go? Who cut out my post and why?

How is it not racist? It is implying that all white cops are racist. God Toasty you sure are one of the white people out there that just don't get it anymore. You don't have a clue what racism is.

MS isn't a place for this sort of bullshit as you put it. I posted some Mexican jokes.. So what. CJ posted American cops are All racist. Which one is worse? That was the point I was trying to make out of this.


Toasty = Clueless

The point of the cartoon was not that all white cops are racist, it is that the new law will compel the police to use skin color as part of their probable cause determination. It's a technique known as satire. Google it.

And I'm the one who's "clueless?" While you're looking up "satire," you might want to check out "irony" as well.

By the way, what about [ms], which is a global community linked by a love of EDM, suggests to you that it's the ideal place to post a bunch of Mexican jokes?

And by the way, lest there be any confusion, I didn't remove your post (I don't have that ability), but I did report it, so there's part of your mystery solved right there.

Re: This Arizona immigration law really PISSES ME OFF

someone is walking a very fine line, and not even to prove a remotely valid point, I'm almost willing to suggest the inevitible.

beautiful comment regarding satire and irony by the way, lol

Re: This Arizona immigration law really PISSES ME OFF

so let me get this straight. You report my post. Then you copy it in a quote? What was the point of reporting the quote if you were just going to copy it? So you didn't want to ban my post you just wanted to report me to the MS police.

Also the cops were white cops checking for skin color. How is that not racist? Why not have one black cop and one white cop. Or one mexican cop and a black cop?? It is racist. You can't even recognize it anymore. You say anyone talking about Mexican Jokes is racist but a cartoon that shows the bad white cops checking for skin color isn't racist?? You must be kidding me.


Steve how am I walking afine line by posting Mexican Jokes.. We can't laugh here? Someone post some asian jokes and white jokes.. I don't give a shit.

Actually, it was the other way around -- I responded to it, then decided that it was worth reporting -- but with the point being made, I'll delete the quote from my message.
